Week 15: Green Bay @ Bears Sunday at noon on Fox
Sammy Sofa replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
Everyone in football is ugly. -
Yu's like Heyward in that he seems like a really good dude, and that tops any frustration I have over any kind of a letdown performance vs. the big deal they signed.
-
Yeah, I don't see them getting anything decent back for him. I think all the value would be in that it would be likely the Cubs could get a team to take all of his salary this year for not much in return in the way of players.
-
Beyond Russell's situation being awful because it's so awful, it gets a little added suckiness because of how the Cubs went relatively quickly from basically have a traffic jam at 2B and SS to, "OMG, I hope Baez can keep it up at SS, and I hope Zobrist can stay alive at 2B." Zobrist looked so good last year that he would have been a prefect candidate to easily move this offseason to free up some money. Now they arguably can't move him because they need the MI depth.

That dude's hair makes him legit.

Mmmm, yeah, if there's anything that's going to lure a team to taking on that horsefeathering millstone of a contract, it's guys like Happ and Schwarber.

Now how could they dramatically alleviate such a situation... Bryce absolutely helps. But they’re still going to have to way over pay him to come to sit around for a few years while everyone develops with no certainty of these prospects and them all like being more 2-3 win guys than anything else and my response was not about Bryce it was just regarding why the White Sox system is good but not great and lacks stars. It seems like most of the projections out there are talking about 2020 for them, with occasional talk of surprising in 2019.

Great, but it's pretty horsefeathering funny to watch people essentially flat out deny they have a good system right now. How many different ways can someone say, "no, no; it actually sucks despite (seemingly) literally every farm ranking" before they just sound crazy. They have a nice system right now but there’s a lot of pitchers in it (one of which already blew out in Kopech) and I don’t see the Bryant type prospect that will anchor things to lead to a turn around. It seems like more depth and complimentary pieces than stars. Which is good to have, but they need stats to finish the turn around. Now how could they dramatically alleviate such a situation...

I have a hunch the overwhelming majority of Cub fans would love to trade Quintana for Jimenez & Cease. As a trade chip I'd take him back, sure. That's pretty much why everyone here wants him back. That's a trade that badly, BADLY needs a do-over.
-
Based on the sweaty, kinda desperate attempts here to claim otherwise, it's weird how the White Sox system keeps getting rated so highly, I guess. NSBB sees through the smoke and mirrors; all of the farm systems are actually reversed! The Cubs' is actually top 5 instead of bottom 5!
-
These people need to be watched.
-
He’d have to suffer a major injury or some fluke thing for that 2021 option not to be exercised. It’s only like $12 million. For some reason I thought it was, like, $17.5. Alright, so they likely have him through 2021, but I really doubt he's brought back after that unless the TV deal actually makes the Ricketts stop acting like even bigger dickheads than they already are.
-
He already has cut down on his HR swing. DAMN YOU (this is good).
-
And I feel like left out a lot is that Rizzo is likely off the books after 2021 (and maybe even 2020), too.

Please note now this otherwise grammatically impeccable post expressly did NOT capitalize the word "cubs." Nice escape hatch you gave yourself there, sir...

Fishing analogies?!? Brace yourselves: he's gone full Dusty.

I think you meant to put this in the cards and collectibles thread.

Aw, nuts.

Who is that dude? Is he an outsider? DID I START A MEME?!?
